TYPEWRITING MIACHINE.

Application: filedOctober 16, 1922. Serial No. 594,689.

To all whom it may come/2t:

'Be it known that LEIERBERT E. BRIDG- watrnn, citizen of the UnitedStates, and re ident of Syracuse, in the county of Onon daga and Stateof New York, have invented certain new and useful improvements inTypewriting Machines, of which the following is a specification.

' lviy invention relatesto typewriting and like iachines, and moreparticularly to paper feeding means for such machines. The object of theinvention, generally stated, is to provide a simple, inexpensive andhighly efficient paper feed device which my be readily shifted toeffective or ineffective position as may be desired. and by the mere actof thus shifting the device bringing into action means for effectivelyholding the device in either of such positions. V

"Stated more specifically, an object of the inventionis to provide asimple and efiective auxiliary wpaper feedor pressure device which maybe maintained under spring pressure against the front of the platen orthe paper thereon, and which, when it is desired to dispense with theuse of such device, may be readily shifted to a position. at aconsiderable distance away from the platen where it may be maintainedfree from interference with the work sheets;

To the aboveand other ends which will hereinafter appear, my inventionconsists in the features of construction, arrangementsof parts andcombinations of devices set forth in the following description andparticularly pointed out in the appended claims. i v

In the accompanyingdrawings, wherein like reference characters indicatecorresponding parts in the different views.

Figure 1 is a fragmentary top plan view of 'a portion of a typewritingmachine equipped with the paper feed device of my invention.

Figure 2 is a detail fragmentary vertical fore-and-aft sectional view ofthe same, taken on the line 2 -2 of Figure l and looking in thedirection of the arrows at said line.

Figure 3 is a view corresponding to Figure 2 except that the paperfeed'device is shownin side elevation instead of in section and is shownretractedtothe 1nefltective rposlt on.

, purpose.

Figure 4 is an enlarged detail transverse sectional view of the paperfeed device and some of the associated parts, the section being taken onthe line %4; of Figure 2 and looking in the direction of the arrows atsaid line.

I have shown my invention embodied in the present instance. in aMonarchtypewriting machine equipped for use with VVahl I addingmechanism, said machine embodying inventions of Frederick A. Hart,Serial No. 630,226, filed April 6, 1923, although the paper feed deviceof my invention is not restricted to its use in such a machine but maybe employed in various makes of typewriting or like machines In theaccompanying drawings I have shown only so much of the machine referredto as is necessary to arrive at an understanding of my invention in itsembodiment therein. i i

he typewriting machine comprises the usual carriage 1 supporting aplaten 2. Side arms 3 are fixedly secured by suitable means to each endof the carriage. The means employed in the present instance are the sameas those disclosed in the patent to Herbert H. Steele No. 1,222,694,dated April 17, 1917.

Parallel cross bars 4: have their feet 5 secured by screw bolts 6 andnuts 7 to the arms 3. These bars extend throughout the length of thecarriage in front of the platen and are united at different pointsthroughout the length thereof by shouldered spacing pins or members 8riveted at their ends to the cross bars, as indicated at 9. As far asthe present invention is concerned, these parts constitute portions ofthe typewriter carriage. 0

I utilize the cross bars 4 to support the paper feed device of myinvention, although other supporting, means connected to the carriagemay be provided fol-this Arranged about centrally of the carriage is ashouldered spacing pin or member 10 which preferably is connected at itsends to the cross bars 4 by headed screws Patented Sept. 18, 1923.

COAL BUNKER FOR LOCOMOTIVES.

Application filed 'August 29, 1922. Serial No. 585,023.

T all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Ismon Bnonuno, a subjectof the King of Sweden, residing at Skarsatra Lidingon, Sweden. haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Coal Bunkers forLocomotives, of which the following is a specification.

In locomotives the store of coal is generally placed on a separatecarriage running behind the locomotive, a'so-called tender, in acoal-bunker situated on said carriage. In small locomotives, as forinstance in switchers, said tender isgenerally replaced by a smallercoal-bunker located behind the drivers cab and close to the "floorthereof. In some locomotives, particularly of the type in which thetender is used as a support for a condenser or other recooling deviceappertaining to the locomotive-aggregate it has proved diflicult toprovide a separate coal-tender. In case of such locomotives beingintended for larger development of power than switchii'ig, the abovenamed arrangement of a coal-bunker at the rear wall of the drivers caband its floor will not allow a store of coal of sufficient volume. o

It has also been previously proposed to place the coal-bunker above thesteam boiler in front of the drivers (2:11), but in such case it hasbeen difiicult to provide free outlook forwardly from the cab.Furthermore a coal-bunker situated in "front of the drivers cab willalways result in coal-dust and the like being blown into the cab.

This invention relates to a coal-bunker for locomotives provided withcondensers and consists in that the coal-bunker is located in the upperpart of the drivers cab and. provided with a discharge-hopper whichpreferably is situated in the rear part of the cab.

The accompanying drawing illustrates diagrammatically an embodiment ofthe in- 45 vention. Fig. 1 shows a locomotive constructed according tothe invention and Fig. 2 a section of the same, the left part of thefigure on the line 13-15 in Fig. 1

bunker 9 which rearwardly and forwardlyhas the shape of adischarge-hopper 10 ending at such a height above the floor ll of thecab that the coals may be readily shoveled away. At either side of thisdischarge hopper there is room for the driver and the stoker to dwellduring the journey v i and in the same place the operating mechanisms ofthe locomotive are provided. Besides at the sides of thedischarge-hoppcr doors l2 and 13 are arranged through which there ispassage to the compartment 14 where the turbinc-aggregate is located.The coal-bunker is in well-known manner provided at the top withshutters which in opened position form a receiving hopper.

IVhat I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of theUnited States is 1. A coal-bunker for locomotives provided withcondensers, characterized by the coal-bunker being located in the upperpart of the drivers cab and provided with a discharge-hopper preferablysituated in the rear part of the cab.

2. Coal-bunker according to characterized by the width of thedischargehopper being less than the width of the drivers cab for thepurpose of providing room at either side of the hopper.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
